Become an Associate

The Naturopathic Medicine Institute (NMI) exists to educate the public and medical practitioners about the principles and practice of naturopathic medicine. We strive to maximize the value of our educational offerings by stressing practical knowledge for the healing arts primarily designed for naturopathic physicians and other allied professionals to facilitate their professional development.

NMI provides several levels of participation.

We offer associate levels for:

All associate levels include participation in the weekly recorded conference call, “The Vital Conversation,” hosted by Dr. Jim Sensenig and featuring Naturopathic Physicians from around the world. These groundbreaking calls are inspiring, educational, and paradigm-shifting.
